Cognivive is a small health technology/video game startup, based in Boston, MA and Davis, CA. We're making “digital medicines people want to take” by combining real scientific research with engaging, compelling game design. Our therapeutic VR games are being designed to help people recover from strokes, keep your brain sharp as you age, and help kids with certain genetic disorders get the advantages they need.


Our "small but mighty" team is expanding, and we are looking to hire an experienced Unity developer for full-time work. As the second developer on our team, you'll work closely with the creative lead to prototype and develop experimental therapeutic games. Together, you'll be responsible for creating and maintaining a sustainable codebase for our two current projects. We'd like for you to help with the creative process, as well. Your design and/or artistic contributions will be welcomed with open arms.


Our ideal applicant has:

  • Experience developing games in Unity
  • Strong C# development skills
  • A good grasp of software architecture principles
  • Demonstrated ability to build reusable systems
  • A drive to make things that help people


Bonus points for:

  • Proven game design or art skills
  • Neuroscience experience
  • Physical rehab experience
  • VR experience
  • Experience in a lead developer role or similar

We offer a competitive salary, full healthcare coverage, and great benefits. We are currently looking for office space in and around Boston, MA, so you can help us choose where, too! Unfortunately, we cannot offer relocation compensation. We think that the most effective treatment games will come from a diverse background, and we strongly encourage women and minority candidates to apply.
